In SF, they are in the paper for that amount. And I
know Hotch sells them for that, the pristine ones.
Perfect body, interior, mechanical cond. and low
miles. Perhaps the ones in the papers end up getting
discounted significantly.
And bear in mind that in SF, a standard one bedroom
apartment rents for about $1500 or more depending on
location. Gas is 2.00 a gallon for the cheap stuff.
The median home price is over $500,000. Anything nice
in town is more than that. Everything is more
expensive here, esp. toys.
